In a few weeks I will have 6 Irish mates arriving in Melbourne.
4 of them are keen to rent bikes suitable for riding some trails near Eildon Forest.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or recomend a company which can help me?
I know its short notice but if there is a will there's a way...
Cheers

You could try the knobheads at Clipstone Yamaha, but at a last resort...
Try the net search thing, there is a couple in the city centre but not cheap! :roll:

Hey, it's not exactly the same but in Mansfield they have had dirtbike adventure groups. I think the way it works is you can either bring your own bike or rent from them and they take you on a day or two-day ride. No idea who to contact :?: , but try the Mansfield motorcycle shop.
Mansfield Motorcycles; 23 Highett St Mansfield VIC 3722. (03) 5775 3288 If it still exists they will know about it.
If your mates from Ireland want to see offroad VIC, this is a great way to do it. :D

I grew up in Kilsyth and my wife is from Mooroolbark.
I went to Mooroolbark Tech in 1974 and you reckon there's mullet a-plenty in Lilydale now!...
You obviously never went to the Station in 1974 either! :lol:

Its allright Muzz, The bikes are rentals..
They go faster in every gear,..
Have 1000 more RPM than the limiter on every other bike made,..
Are basically indestructable,
By the time they get to the camp site, it will be dark and the beer will look black,..
And they are gonna be away from the general populus of Australia once up near Eildon and in the bush.. :lol:

As Riders have no mid week rentals at the minute. We used Aussie Rentals. We picked the bikes up at Sharp Tune in Dandenong.
2 WR450's and 1 WR250. Top class condition.
The boys loved them. Price included Helmets, boots, gloves, armour and trailer.
$300 each for 24hours.
No complaints.
